Mac Hits Ball St. For 3 More Years

September 23, 1994

MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State, already under NCAA sanctions for violations that led to the resignation of former basketball coach Dick Hunsaker, was put on probation for another three years Thursday by the Mid-American Conference.

The university, which accepted the NCAA penalties, said it would appeal the MAC action.

Hunsaker resigned and forward Steve Payne was suspended before the start of practice last fall after the school said it discovered the violations and began its own investigation. The infractions included illegal payments to players and recruiting violations.
